Derivative Path, Inc., a leading provider of capital markets technology and derivatives execution services, has announced a new partnership with Wells Fargo, to enhance the global payments capabilities available to regional and community banks. 

Leveraging Wells Fargo’s FX Payment APIs integrated with Derivative Path’s purpose-built platform, this initiative is designed to work seamlessly within the digital experiences of bank customers, providing real-time FX rates across over 120 currency pairs and streamlining the collection of settlement details at the point of payment creation. It marks a major evolution in FX payment capabilities for these banks, enabling them to overcome traditional market barriers efficiently and securely. 

This next-generation solution addresses the complexities and inefficiencies typically associated with international transactions by streamlining and optimizing payment workflows. Regional and community banks can now leverage this advanced technology to provide competitive, secure, and transparent FX payment services, akin to those offered by the largest financial institutions. 

The digital, integrated solution already has several live customers with many more currently being implemented. Among the tech-forward early adopters are Busey Bank and FirstBank (Nashville, TN). 

"This collaboration with Wells Fargo marks a critical advancement in making global payments accessible and efficient for regional and community banks," said Pradeep Bhatia, CEO and Co-Founder of Derivative Path. "Our technology is designed not only to meet the current and future needs of these banks, but also to integrate seamlessly into their digital platforms, enhancing the overall customer experience and extending their international capabilities." 

"Wells Fargo is committed to leveraging our global resources to enhance the capabilities of regional and community banks through strategic technology partnerships," stated Dan Vogt, Managing Director, Head of FX Payment Solutions Sales & Product Strategy at Wells Fargo. "Working with Derivative Path allows our bank clients to leverage our robust APIs to bring FX payment solutions to their customers via digital channels where they want to transact.” 

Neil Denault, Capital Markets Manager at Busey Bank, commented on the operational impact: "Since implementing the Derivative Path and Wells Fargo integrated FX payments solution, Busey Bank has processed over 500 FX wires with only one inquiry — significantly enhancing our operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Not only does this technology support our growth, but it also strengthens our competitive position in the market. Derivative Path and Wells Fargo effectively delivered an efficient and user-friendly solution that has benefitted the bank and our customers.” 

Ron Zimmerman, SVP of Deposit Operations at FirstBank, added, "Derivative Path has been a trusted partner of the bank for many years, and their ability to extend their solutions to international payments at a time of acute need for FirstBank is very much appreciated. They not only improved the experience for our customers, but our wire room is ecstatic about how much their process has improved." 

This innovative solution is part of Derivative Path's broader strategy to empower banks of all sizes with cutting-edge financial tools necessary to thrive in a globalized economy. As Derivative Path continues to expand its network of partnerships with leading liquidity providers, the focus remains on enhancing service offerings for community and regional banks, reinforcing their competitive edge and operational efficiency.
